Soaking a suitable foot can not only accelerate the blood circulation of the whole body, but also relax the spirit and make people have a better rest. Developing the habit of soaking feet for a long time is also very helpful for some sub-health States, such as getting rid of moisture in the body.

For example, when moisture is trapped in the spleen, people will feel sticky, unable to eat or sleep. There is too much moisture in the body, and edema of eyes, face and lower limbs often occurs. Adding appropriate Chinese medicine when soaking feet can help the body to get rid of moisture.
